Mobile Browser

There are numerous web browsers for Android but only a few deliver fast mobile browsing. Dolphin, one of the best Mobile Web Browsers for Android, was recently updated with new features and some bug fixes. Its developer added a Search engine option and support for multiple-thread downloads.

Since more and more people access the Internet through their smartphones and tablets, mobile browsers are now in a race to capture the users’ loyalty. While most people prefer the ubiquitous Chrome or Opera or even their smartphones’ built-in browser (although why you would do that is a mystery), the Firefox for Android has been making strides to vastly improve its mobile browser. The latest update brings more customizable features and better access to clear history.

It seems like Link Bubble's "background loading" idea is catching on, at least on non-mainstream Android browsers. Javelin Browser, the rather curious gesture-based browser we encountered last March, is just one of the few to add this functionality, boldly calling it a "true multitasking" feature.

As one sequel to a wildly popular game says, "it's about time". Google has now rolled out a new look for its Google Play Store when viewed from a mobile web browser, taking it a bit closer to the actual mobile app experience.

Next up in our extended look at the LG G Pro 2 -- the Dual Browser mode. This one is simple, but at the same time, really nice to have with such a large display. As a refresher, the LG G Pro 2 sports a 5.9-inch display. A 1080p at that. But regardless of the resolution, it can sometimes be convenient to run two apps at the same time.

According to research by Chetam Sharma, a wireless carrier consultant, we’re using about double the mobile data we did last year. In 2012, US customers used about 690MB monthly via their smartphones and 3G/LTE tablets. Now we’re using 1.2GB every month. That’s a lot of photo uploads and streaming music!

Dolphin is once again making an attempt to distance itself from other popular browsers in the mobile space with a new kind of mobile browser. Going beyond the typical private browsing modes offered by others, Dolphin Zero is a browser that puts users' privacy as its topmost priority.

Mozilla has just made a double announcement revolving around the Android version if its popular Firefox web browser. Not only does a new update bring in an improved Home Screen experience but the browser itself has been made available on Android devices powered by Intel chips.

Google is really putting its card-based aesthetic everywhere it can. That design style is now making its way to its browser-based Google News web app, making the service not just usable on mobile device but good-looking as well.

Dolphin Browser may not be such a big name on the desktop, but on Android, it is one of Google Chrome's and Mozilla Firefox's toughest competitors. And it just got even better with this new update that brings a load of new features and fixes, and one slightly puzzling change.
